Waitresses & 5Ks

I have often wondered this? Finally some truth on this subject! Waitresses, I'm on to you!

America's Waitresses: Are They Hitting On You?

I ran a 5k today. I got Rena to run, but couldn't convince Cole. I somehow made it in 28:33, which is amazing because I had posted 36 and 33 on my training for this 5k. That was almost as fast as the Road Runner. What's even more amazing is how many people I knew there: Carla Hendegren, Janelle Hanks, Katy Gibson, Jen Mortensen, and that one guy Brandon Platt. It's too bad Stephy and Chad weren't there. Then my 5k would have been complete.

J suggested that I mention science on my blog because of my title. So I'll do that on a later blog because I'm tired from my 5K.

The ZMAN Series.

For those of you who didn't like my last post, I beg your pardon. And as J pointed out in the comments of my last post, there should be a sign in the men's bathroom over the urinal saying "pee here".
This week, I wrote, directed, and produced a bad animated series called ZMAN. If you haven't watched it, here are all the episodes.

Episode 2

Episode 3

And the last episode!
I do hope I get a golden raspberry award for this C-list effort. That's why they call me the Mexican Spielberg (Simpsons reference, I think) .

The musical "note": Everlong

In season 6 episode 7 of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a demon curses the townsfolk to sing and dance as if life were a musical. Maybe it's inspiration from that show; or maybe not. Maybe this is fleeting idea I had, but nevertheless it is an idea I wanted to try. This note was born. I called it Everlong. No doubt referencing Buffy the Vampire Slayer might Burn some Bridges with J, but maybe the reaction to this format will be mostly positive; No One Knows, I certainly don't. So what are you suppose to do? As I dink around with this idea, just follow the links. You will experience my taste of music throughout this "note". Everything in this "note" stained with music.
I don't have The Resolution to sing or play musical instrument. My friend Becca can. She can play the piano and sing at the same time. She can even do it well. My friend Kayla, Who Was a Teenage Hand Model, can play the triangle. And she can play it in time!
A student made me laugh in class. He admit he was prepared for the quiz and was Faking It. I respect that. Sometimes we all fake it. Neither Don't Stop Believing in yourself, nor let life get Best of You; even The Pretenders can become contenders (this last phrase rhymed).
I saw Thor over the weekend with Cole and Debra. I was surprised how much I liked it. I usually have low expectations for movies like this. Michael Bay has set the bar low for this movie genre. But before you Walk out on this genre of movie, give Thor a chance. It might surprise you. Oh and Thor featured the Foo Fighters song Walk.

If you didn't like this blog, I apologize.

Lucas turns 2!


Dear readers,
Thanks to those following my blog! Rena, Debra, Kayla, and T Mo are the best! In case you are wondering, yes T Mo is me. I don't remember how I started following my own blog, but whatever stranger things have happened - like Kayla actually illustrating my blog. I would hope Kayla feels guilty, but I know she is impregnable to guilt and electric attacks (Pokemon reference).
It's birthday time! It's not Rena's birthday this week. It's my nephew Lucas! Here is picture of my nephew Lucas. I likes to sit in the toy drawer. The little kid doesn't like my sister-in-law Becca's family. He cries when most of Becca's family try to pick him up or get near him. It's kind of sad because the he is making a mess and I want to spread the messiness with others. I gave him a crappy present. We Morrises are bad at giving presents. For my nephew Hayden's first Christmas I gave him a ball he already own; wrap it up, put under tree, and wham-o shopping for the one year old is done. I got a Christmas present the kid will like. I use to think I was clever because he won't remember, but now I think it was kind of mean. So I didn't learn my lesson. I hadn't got my nephew anything. He's two years old; he want something to put in his mouth or throw. So naturally I went to the toy drawer and got out a toy cell phone he already plays with. He loved the present!

My goal is to get 10 views on this blog. So be sure to share this post with your mothers.
By the way we have new portrait of Kayla. I don't want to name the artist so Kayla you will have to wonder who the artist is of this masterpiece. For some reason, I have an urge to make list of my pet peeves. Here are my top 2 (for today at least):
  1. The imbecile on the corners on the the street. It's even better when they are listening to music using the advertisement as an air guitar! Or worse, when they are dancing and jiggling the advertisement so much you can't read them. Is this the most effective way of advertisement? I go out of my way to avoid establishment that me! Honestly, it's more like I can't afford to buy them. But I could buy houses they were selling I would avoid them!
  2. The overpass with a "hill blocks view" road sign. What, why is that there? I'm not even sure how to frame this question! Have we as a people become so asinine as a people that we need to point out the obvious? These are the signs I think we should start posting signs saying this: "Beware, lake is wet", "library books are free to checkout, unless you return them late and then you get fined", "Times New Roman is not a language, it is a font", "Men's bathroom is most disgusting place on earth", "J's cubicle: The Black Hole", "Warning, Glenn Beck is dramatic" and "Trevor, the most eligible bachelor on 13oo East." Let me know what is your favorite or if you have another to add the the list. The winner will be made into an illustration by Kayla for my next blog.

I hate the word Blog!!



I gave into peer pressure. Even though I hate the word blog, I started a blog AKA "note". I hate the word blogger even more. I would rather be referred to as a noter. Or maybe not. Oh well, humans are sheep and have the herd mentality. But not me. This "note" has something unique. It has something no other "note" has - Kayla North original illustrations. Well sort of. Kayla has yet to do an illustration beyond a token offer in the comment section of my first "note". So I have taken the liberty of doing an illustration of Kayla not doing an illustration for my blog (see left illustration). I was such a trend setter that Debra did an illustration of Kayla too (see above right illustration). One of the problems with blogspot, even Facebook has gotten around this problem, is captions aren't allowed on photos. Boo!

Kindle Update: I know I bored my readers with endless updates of my Kindle's travel to me. It's here! It is a healthy 19 ounces with 6 inch screen. I'll upload some photos later of the the proud papa and kindle later. If only we could track storks bring babies like we do packages from Amazon....Or better yet idea! We could NORAD track my package like they track Santa on Christmas Eve?

One of the odd things about my "note" is that it reads more like a journal than any thing else. It's like a window into the warped mind of Trevor. Well only partly, because this "note" is public, I don't write everything here. Nonetheless, even though I tend be quiet, I go on and on if I want to. I worked the dreadfully boring Saturday shift. I forgot how much I like that shift. I had a busy night. I had two birthday parties to attend. I swung by Julie Larsen's birthday party. I said hi and happy birthday. She was there and so was Becca Kuck. I got a hug from each. :) I know I'm a dork (Debra you don't need to remind me again). I don't remember who else was there. My memory is going in my old, old age. I didn't get get to talk to Julie or Becca much because I got distracted by a football....ADHD wins again!
I then whisked (Dear Editor, is whisked the right word?) off to help Cole get ready for his wife's, Rena, surprise party. He didn't need help to get ready. I had a hard time not talking about how she was getting a Kindle too! I tried to foreshadow it in only the most ridiculousness way possible. I showed Rena how my new Kindle fits in her purse. And no Rena, I don't want a new purse or murse (Man + Purse) to go with my new Kindle. I am interested to see if Rena and Cole post about the party; see their perspectives. Mine is the most correct one of course. It's funny to hear about Cole's waking hallucinations after taking children Nyquil. Little men fluffing his pillow! Even odder, those little men were riding My Little Ponies! I want Kayla to get on an illustration of that pronto. (Please).

Update on church: my ward is gutted. I don't really like it. I lost my awesome co-chair because she lives south of 4th south. She is still going to come anyway. Did I mention she is awesome! I don't think I can find "sisters"that has the enthusiam for BBBS she does. We lost about 30 "sisters". So much for our ward remaining intact. I don't care for 8 30 am church. I was 40 minutes late to first day. I wasn't the only one. 4 people came in after I did. The church needs a phone wake up call service, which would do me any good because I leave the phone in another room. Would be wrong to ask the Holy Ghost for a wake up call? Anyway, Debra and Becca are in the same ward now. They haven't met each other yet, so I am introducing them through my "note". Debra you know it's Becca because she is the female version of Justin Beaver. And just like how Justin Beaver has a herd of teenage girls following, Becca and a line of teenage boys (and elders) following her.

This might be my last blog for awhile. School is starting up again. The beginning of class always makes me nervous....pregame butterflies. Maybe I'll "note" on non exciting events on ldslinkup.com or why Doctor Who is a guilty pleasure. Or maybe about my date; oh wait, I don't have one planned. Or how my 5k went (if I can get work off). Or why we should write a sitcom called Circ from Cole's and my view VS Kayla and Debra.

P.S. Papa and Kindle are doing fine.
P.S.P.S.s Thanks Cole
